Techshield 2020
Tahsin Tabassum, Newsletter Editor for IEEE RUET Student Branch
Among all the events organized during the Covid-19 pandemic, “TechShield- 2020” event stood out the most. IEEE RUET RAS Student Chapter and IEEE RUET WIE Affinity Group, in association with IEEE RUET Student Branch and sponsored by Asian Trafic Technologies Limited, organized “TechShield-2020”, a pilot event of IEEE YESIST12. It was a competition for innovative ideas which was divided into three rounds.
The first round of “TechShield 2020” included the abstract submission where almost all students from 25 different universities submitted their ideas. 31 proposals were selected to proceed to the next round. The second round consisted of demonstrating the developed idea virtually. To reach out to all the universities, ambassadors were called to promote the event. A webinar on “Fog Computing and Emerging Technologies” was also jointly organized by IEEE RUET RAS Student Chapter and IEEE RUET WIE Affinity Group in association with IEEE RUET Student Branch.
